Opening: Mission: Impossible and Sherlock Holmes Sequels Get the Thumbs Up From Critics
Opening December 16th:
Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol
Fresh Rating: 94%
Synopsis: This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.
Rotten Tomatoes Consensus Opinion: Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.
See More of What the Critics Had to Say at the Movie's Rotten Tomatoes Page
Also Opening:
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Fresh Rating: 66%
Synopsis: Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.
Rotten Tomatoes Consensus Opinion: It never duplicates the well-oiled thrills of the first installment, but Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is eminently watchable thanks to its well-matched leading men.
